I don't think LSA depreciation is an easy thing to nail down right now. I saw Lockwood listing a Tecnam near TBO with serious damage history for more than they paid for it. They might be able to get it too since when they bought is the Euro was cheap and people are desperate for anything less than 100K now days. I think its going to be a while before things stabilize so we can get a good handle on depreciation.
